yo, thats some great pictures you just added! seriously i think this is the best diverse equipment demonstration i have ever seen. with all that vintage equip, that is really something. really wish we could have made it out there to see in person i bet it was just that much better.

I would have to agree, that is really a very complete fully operational display. Bulldozers, shovels, ore cars, rail, and the rest. Very impressive shots... And to think you guys built the track just for the display.

Building the track was just as bad as just transporting everything there. We had (2) guys laying & spiking the rail & one other bolt it together with that crew we can do about 100 ft an hour completed. The track was built as 42" gauge but now with a talk of expansion by the group hosting the show we will more than likely change the gauge to 36". We happen to have several more gas/ diesel powered locomotives to choose from. This was a test track to see how everyone would like it & the responses back from the H.C.E.A. have been great as well as all of yours.

We also have lots of pictures of all the surface mining working exhibits. We can post one more bank of pictures if everyone wants to see them. We are primarily deep miners but I do have to say that is some cool equipment.
